Carson Wentz reintroduced the Eagles to the concept of “supply and demand.”.

So on Thursday Wentz was traded to the Colts for a third-round pick in 2021 and a conditional second-round pick in 2022 – it could become a first-rounder based on Wentz’s playing time – as the Bears, Broncos and Panthers sat idly by.

Not exactly the return anyone would have expected Wentz to command if he was traded after his MVP-caliber season in 2017.

“They recognize the return they got versus what they invested in [Wentz] does not match up.

“Carson Wentz was coming off one of the worst years of his career – one of the worst years of any quarterback in the NFL last year.”.

“There was one team really hot after him because of Frank Reich’s connection to Wentz, and that was the Colts,” McManus said
